Do you have coax jacks in your house?

[mattkime]

Our house does and I'm tempted to remove them.

.....get jacked up all the time......

[Carm]

Yes, need them for cable boxes and internet.

I removed them all except for in the basement where the network room with the cable modem is. Every TV we have is a RokuTV and we can use the Spectrum app to watch everything. No need for the mess of a cable box.

All our wiring runs to one cabinet in the basement. When we dropped cable (must have been 20 years ago or more) we put up a rooftop antenna, and connected the coax wiring to that. We have caps on the outlets not being used, but some are no longer connected in the basement. We have four TVs that can get OTA broadcasts from the roof antenna.


Good luck.

Yes, but the cable they used is so bad it can't be used for anything. Cable guy said the cable stopped being sold years before the house was built. Someone must have found a stash of the old cable.

Can't rip it out without tearing up the walls.

Yes, pre-wired, but sadly with the older RG-59, not RG-6.

I hit Yes but just remembered that I ripped them out about 2 years ago.

Does it count if I have coax cables with ends dangling through faceplates, or do I need to have faceplates with fixed female bits showing?

yup, it's where the cable modem comes into the house. Also, our DirecTV is wired via coax.
